Japan 200 volt 3-phase

[tomd53]

We are buying a machine from japan and they say their voltage to the machine is 200 volt 3-phase. Can i use our standard 208 3-phase or do i have to get a special transformer from 480x200?

I cannot answer your question, but something to consider is that Japan also runs off 2 different frequencies depending upon which part of the country you are in.
Both 50 and 60hz are present there.

They said it shall be 60hz system

I have worked in a couple of Japanese owned companies and we would get stuff from Japan that said 200volt 3 phase 60hz and we just rasn it on 208-3 phase--worked great
